Claude Bernard School – 29 Oct 2012
Despite the surface area of the lot, its location near the canal provides very interesting poetic potential. So that the children can benefit fully from the location and enjoy the views, we have created two frontages, one north-facing, and the other south-facing. Along the Boulevard Mac Donald, a three-storey block forms a screen that protects the playground, reduces noise pollution, and provides a sense of depth when you stand on the front courtyard and look through the foyer to the playground.

Crèche rue Pierre Budin Paris – 6 Jul 2012
The project takes place into a heterogeneous district made of buildings of any sizes, of any styles, any periods. It’s an environment slightly old-fashioned, hybrid and disintegrated, typical of the heterogeneous architecture which characterizes the Parisian peri-urban zones.

The major urban interest of Ilot 4.2 lies in its position: it will act as a fulcrum between Boulevard Pereire and the new ZAC (Urban Development Zone), creating a kind of transition between ‘black and white photograph’ Paris and the more extensive, three-dimensional city beyond.

This intriguing French capital building plays games with layers of translucent screens to ask what is building, and what is not? Existing mature trees on the site, south of the centre of Paris, are imaginatively integrated.

Much of the building structure is of course located externally, so has suffered from continual exposure to the elements. Some external features, such as the large coloured funnels that were once part of the air system, are now just decorative.

The Docks of Paris is a long, thin building built in concrete at the turn of the last century. It was a depot for goods brought up the River Seine by barge, which were deposited, and then transferred to dray or train.
